No, actually, affirmation alone does not work.

No, actually, affirmation alone does not work.

Recently, I have been repeating the affirmation “I am a master shifter” for about 3 weeks. I also assumed that I was a master shifter. For the first few days, nothing happened or changed, it was just boring. But after about 5 days, I started to hear vibrations and buzzing around my body. I continued to affirm and assume throughout the day. And the vibrations became more intense, and I could feel them even when I was doing other things I normally do. And I started to feel a pressure. It was like energy was pressing down on me. And I started to experience anxiety and panic. Even if I ignored this anxiety, it continued. It was like a thick fog. No matter what I did, this anxiety continued in the background. And as I continued to repeat the affirmation, it got worse. At some point, I tried to find the cause of this anxiety by paying attention to it, and after about 2 hours of concentration, at some point, this anxiety suddenly disappeared. And at the same time, I experienced this intense vibration that was so strong that I could barely feel this physical reality. And then I returned to normal. The anxiety disappeared, but I experienced some kind of panic and stress symptoms in my body.

I experienced extreme mental confusion and fatigue, and I thought that if I continued any longer, something big would happen, so I stopped here.

In fact, I expected success. Because everyone claimed that if I just recite the affirmation, I would succeed. They often asked me if I really continued the affirmation consistently, and said, "You only seem to have failed because you didn't try, and you just have to keep doing it until you succeed." I thought, "Everyone just did it for fun and didn't succeed. If you keep doing it consistently, you will definitely succeed." Well... And the experience was really painful. It wasn't what I expected, it wasn't fun, and most of all, reality shifting didn't happen.

Affirmations are really powerful tools. If you repeat them enough and keep doing them, you will soon experience the powerful effects of affirmations. I have heard similar cases in other spiritual traditions. However, what I have experienced in practice is that when affirmations work, they can have quite a destructive effect. If you are not in a state where you can receive the power of affirmations, you can end up in a painful experience like I experienced. And affirmations do not really solve everything. Well, if the effects of affirmations really were limitless, consider that Christianity and other religions have been using affirmation-like tools consistently. Did they really show an effect that defied the limitations of this physical reality? Of course, I have heard of rare cases where people who have practiced for decades or more have gained such power. However, it did not seem to be achieved by affirmations alone.

I also tried tools like subliminals and self-hypnosis. I actually bought a professional expensive EEG device and measured my EEG. For example, theta waves are dominant in hypnosis or deep trance states, right? I actually succeeded in inducing and measuring these EEG waves with a tool called the mind machine. However, that was it. Nothing happened. I didn't feel more comfortable or relaxed, just theta waves became the dominant EEG waves on the EEG measuring device.

Oh... I actually tried many methods. I heard that astral projection and lucid dreaming were so effective, so I thought I could do it too. However, astral projection was easily achieved through <<The Illusion of the Method>>, but it was just like a black and white dream. Except for being fully awake, nothing else special happened. I saw some interesting scenes that I had never imagined, but that was it. And most importantly, there was never a reality shift.

Many people claim... the void state was also successful after several weeks of effort. However, I experienced the disappearance of space itself and it was interesting. And that was it.

Many of the things I experienced were actually within the realm of things that could happen in reality. Although rare, they were not completely unheard of... and these astral projections, void states, theta states, etc. may be difficult at first, but if you keep repeating them, you can succeed in a few weeks. However, there was no phenomenon that went beyond this realistic limit.

Well... I have seen many cases of Neville Goddard's students and others who succeeded in reality shifting. I think these successes are actually true. However, why do only a very small number of people succeed when they try the same method, and most others fail or nothing happens? I have always wondered about this. Please do not say that self-change is the answer... Because I have already tried to change my self-concept to the limit, and as a result, I have reached a state where I can naturally try shifting in my daily life.

The Power and Pitfalls of Sustained Affirmations

I have not shifted yet, but I wanted to share an experience that may be useful to you.

In my experience, there is a momentum that builds up when you continuously sustain affirmations or assumptions. The more you repeat and persist, the stronger it becomes. For example, I once repeated the affirmation, "I am a god," for several weeks. I repeated this almost all day long. For the first few days, nothing happened. I only experienced some physical tension and discomfort, likely from the constant repetition.

However, after about a week, I started to feel intense vibrations and energy. It felt like a buzzing noise, and I began to feel a sensation of electrical currents flowing in my abdomen. I continued to persist with the affirmation. Then, after 2-3 weeks, I started experiencing extreme energy pressure along with severe fear, anxiety, and dread. I tried to counter these symptoms by repeating the affirmation even more vigorously, but this only made things worse.

Since experiencing this unexpectedly powerful effect, I have encountered these symptoms repeatedly over the past 10 years. Whenever I repeated an affirmation for more than a few days, I would experience these symptoms again. This significantly disrupted my daily life. I had to attend school and go to work. I couldn’t find a way to resolve this, so I kept having to stop and start over.

In my experience, affirmations done for about 10-20 minutes a day didn’t significantly affect my daily life. They just made me feel a bit better or sparked some pleasant imaginations. When trying out a new affirmation, I often experienced anxious or fearful thoughts, or felt positive emotions, thoughts, and feelings, but these gradually faded away after a few weeks of repetition until nothing came to mind.

The truly powerful effects only started to emerge when I repeated and sustained the affirmation all day long for at least two weeks.

Exploring Effective Methods for Spiritual and Emotional Experiences

Here are the most effective methods I've tried and my experiences with them:

1. Embracing Pain: The first method involves getting closer to the pain. This approach provides the most immediate, raw, and intense experiences. In my life, pain has been a universal and abundant presence, making it a readily available resource.

As Abraham Hicks mentioned, the harder things got and the more intensely I felt what I didn't want, the more pronounced my desires became. I could clearly feel what I wanted—good feelings, pleasant imaginings, and a pleasantly uplifting state that lasted for tens of minutes. However, this was contradictory because I also experienced mental pain, tension, and anxiety.

Interestingly, the more intense these disturbances and pains became, the easier it was for me to enter meditation. With my eyes closed and just a few breaths, I experienced deep calm, an expanded sense of being, vibrations, and the sensation of the space around me trembling. This state is difficult to enter when I am relaxed.

2. Engaging with Spiritual Material: For me, this involved reading spiritual books. These books often uplifted me, although this also brought tension, discomfort, and mental pain. Despite this, I felt a mystical energy and a heart-felt ecstasy that was different from joy. I felt invincible, filled with a sense of possibility, and became desensitized to pain, with my body feeling as if charged with electricity.

However, this effect diminished with repeated exposure. Reading the same text again did not recreate the initial feeling, much like how repeatedly eating the same delicious food makes it lose its appeal. The highest energy and emotional joy occurred during the first reading, akin to the exhilaration of first love.

3. Experiencing Physical Weakness: Once, I had a body ache and a cold lasting several days. During this time, I felt pure joy and emotion from simply watching my favorite music or videos. Meditating during this period silenced mental chatter, leaving only pure consciousness, deep relaxation, and a grounding sensation. Although I haven't tried to recreate this state through fasting or extreme penance due to my regular work schedule, it gave me insight into how many spiritual traditions use penance as a practice. The weakening of the body actually aids spiritual practice.

4. Focusing on Things You Love: Similar to engaging with spiritual material, this method loses its excitement over time. Repeating this for weeks resulted in diminishing uplifting feelings, much like stale bread losing its freshness. Constantly seeking new things requires significant effort, which is difficult to maintain alongside work and daily responsibilities. This approach follows the law of diminishing returns, where more effort is needed to achieve the same effect.

5. Meditation: When I am relaxed and meditating well, I feel energy flowing through my body along with feelings of joy and pleasure. However, recreating these sensations is challenging. While I meditate often, these experiences are rare and short-lived. Additionally, painful and distressing sensations and thoughts can arise, persisting even after meditation ends, making it feel like mental torture.

These are the most effective methods I've tried. While many of the laws and methods advocated by Abraham Hicks have worked for me, they are not always consistent. I believe that if we continue on this path, we may eventually align more closely with spiritual beings like Abraham Hicks, and things may start to work as they described.

Experiencing Vibrations and Buzzing Sounds: Personal Insights

In my case, I experienced vibrations and buzzing sounds in the following situations:

Astral Projection: When attempting astral projection, I would become unconscious and then realize I was awake, feeling vibrations throughout my body. These vibrations disappeared once I lifted my body out of itself. However, the experience was not extraordinary, appearing blurry and black-and-white like a dream.

Hyperventilation: Using breathing techniques such as holotropic or Wim Hoff breathing for extended periods, often more than a few dozen minutes, resulted in hearing a buzzing sound and feeling strong vibrations. Despite doing this frequently for several hours at a time, nothing significant happened beyond the sound and vibrations. A slightly unusual effect was muscle paralysis, which made it difficult to move and dulled my senses.

Successful Meditation: Occasionally, during successful meditation, I heard vibrations and buzzing sounds. The intensity varied, sometimes faint like background noise and other times loud like an airplane taking off. Despite the sounds and vibrations, nothing special occurred beyond this.

Emotional Uplift: When emotionally uplifted, such as when reading spiritual books or engaging in activities I enjoy, I often felt joy, happiness, and pleasure. These strong emotions sometimes led to experiencing vibrations, but nothing extraordinary happened beyond that.

Purification: During moments of intense fear, terror, anxiety, mental confusion, anger, hatred, and sadness, I heard vibrations and buzzing sounds. These noises accompanied a deep meditation state within minutes, along with a sense of bodily expansion and deepened consciousness. However, these strong emotions persisted.

Affirmations: Repeating affirmations like "I love" almost all day for several days led to experiencing vibrations. During this time, I felt a strong pressure and physical fatigue, as if something external was pressing on me. This sensation disappeared when I stopped affirming.

When I first encountered these experiences, I was surprised and intrigued. However, as I grew accustomed to them, they lost their novelty. The buzzing sounds and vibrations were just that—sounds and vibrations—without any profound experiences attached. Initially, I was excited and anticipated something different, but over time, I became tired and bored.
